The thing about the “kill them all” type of order is that the only motive for that is to prepare for some kind of deception. Why wouldn’t you capture someone for leverage or information instead?

I’m wondering whether originally Trump hinted that he wanted the journalist arrested to stop his investigation from implicating Kushner, which means he can’t complain about what happened next. But maybe I just have a devious mind.

Our secretary of war wants a Spartan army, apparently. That is ideal if we were transitioning from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

So, they are going to paint the wall black, which might discourage afternoon and early evening climbers. I guess that gives border patrol time for supper, if no one wears shoes, gloves, or sleeves.

They keep making it more and more hazardous to be pregnant, and they wonder why fewer women are taking the risk. Now you can’t even get a Covid shot.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.
There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

I'm tired of hearing that they don't know why birth rates are falling. If you want women to have children, stop making them choose between education and jobs versus children before they are 30 years old.
Change the way education and careers work. Schools and businesses, use some imagination.

Now we see whether just attacking Iran's nuclear capacity was our real motive. If we quit now, OK. If we continue this war, then we are up to something else, aren't we?

So I wonder whether next they will tell undocumented men that they can avoid being deported by joining the military…or something of that ilk.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

The number one thing a woman who wants children needs is stability. Number two is a certain amount of prosperity. Right now those are difficult to arrange.

If the GOP really thinks that a gift of a luxury jet is the same as the Statue of Liberty, why aren’t they arranging to have it put into a public exhibit such as the Air and Space museum in Virginia?

It has become apparent to me that Trump considers Fame to be the most important measure of a person’s worth, with wealth being a second validation. So being forgotten or omitted would be a major threat to him.

OK, autistic people. It's time to get rid of this guy. You know which one. Think of a legal, preferably kind, way to do it. Then let's get together in a plan and get it done.

The cause of autism is pretty simple. Evolution experiments with all the possibilities. Some work better, some don’t. Sometimes you get happy results like Isaac Newton, sometimes you don’t.

I just listened to most of Cline’s 1177: the year civilization collapsed. I hope we are documenting our current crash better than they did, so historians will have a more complete explanation of our fall.

First Baptist Church of Silver Spring cut a deal with a real estate firm to sell the corner lot with its old building in exchange for the firm's building a new church building for "free" next door. Instead they wound up with a million dollar mortgage and only half of their planned building; 1/2
